2 men killed, 1 woman critical in random NYC stabbing spree by knife-wielding maniac

Two men were killed and a woman was critically injured by a knife-wielding maniac who went on a random stabbing spree in Manhattan Monday morning, cops and sources said.

The sickening spree began around 8:20 a.m. when the 51-year-old killer approached a 30-year-old man on West 19th Street near Eighth Avenue and knifed him in the stomach, police said.

That victim — who sources identified as a construction worker — was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he died, cops said.

About two hours passed before the violent menace moved to East 30th Street near the FDR Drive, where he knifed a man in his 60s multiple times, police and sources said.

That man was taken to the same hospital, where he too succumbed to his injuries, sources said.

Then, shortly before 11 a.m., the brute stabbed a woman in the chest at East 42nd Street and First Avenue, cops and sources said.
